"An exemplary piece of work . . . . Well-researched by Burns and made chillingly convincing."
--The Washington Post Book World
"Parts Unknown is a clever novel . . . . Burns introduces the reader to a new twist on white-collar crime with his ghoulish organ merchants."
--James Ward Lee, The Houston Post
"Burns is a facile, easygoing writer with a flair for keeping a plot moving. In Devlin Kirk, he has created a likeable protagonist, savvy and sincere, but with a penchant for sarcasm and self-deprecating humor. 'Parts Unknown' is solid detective fiction."
--Charles W. Pratt, The Rotarian
"Fights and chases with a motorcycle gang mix with procedural sleuthing and well-documented medical details, adding up to a competent, slightly unusual mystery tale not for the squeamish."
--Publishers Weekly
Kirk and Associates are P.I.'s as they really work. They are not always lucky on the first try (or even the second or third) and they are not infallible, but they are always the good guys. Rex Burns knows how to tell a tale well, and the informal, needling repartee between Dev and Bunch is an added bonus."
